The Mentalist 4X23: Red Rover, Red Rover
Added 2025-11-21 19:00:08 +0000 UTCExactly nine years after the day his wife and daughter were murdered by Red John, Jane finds a note on his windshield saying 'Happy Anniversary.'
At the cemetery, a young girl brings Jane a message from Red John asking him if he has given up yet.
Jane takes the day off and after drinking heavily, burns his Red John files. The next morning, he tells Lisbon and Wainwright he is giving up on Red John because nothing has changed.
The team investigates the death of Antonio Castro, whose decomposed body is found 11 months after he disappeared. He was bound and left to die in a locked box.
His boss, Dennis Victor (Ray Wise), tells them that Antonio was engaged to his niece, Marcy (Amanda Schull). Marcy confesses that she had started a relationship with Ian (David Furr), who tells the team the firm found out recently that Antonio had been stealing from the firm.
The team interviews Dennis Victor and Benjamin Marx (Aaron Lohr), who later tell Jane about the elite club called 19:24 and that Antonio was to be instated into the club. Jane lays a trap to detect who is lying and discovers Benjamin was the actual thief and killed Antonio when he found out.
He buries Benjamin alive to extract a confession.
Jane refuses to apologize and insults Wainwright after he suspends Jane. They almost get into a scuffle and Wainwright eventually fires Jane.
****WTF JANE. I mean, I love you to death. But you can't lock people in casket to force confessions out of them.
